The primary object of the invention is the provision of a comb having detachably mounted thereon a reservoir or liquid holder which is adapted to receive hair dye, water, hair tonie or other liquid to be distributed to the comb whereby the said liquid may be applied to the hair.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a comb adapted to apply hair dye, tonic or other liquid to the hair and which is simple ir. construction and inexpensive in the manufacture.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in t-he construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be herein after more fully described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings which disclose the preferred form of embodiment of the invention, However, it is to be under stood that changes, variations'and modifications may be made such as come properly within the scope of the claims hereunto appended without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side view of the invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view.

Fig. 5 is a detail view of the tube detachably fitted within the reservoir or liquid holder and removed therefrom.

In the' drawings, the numeral 7 designates a hollow tubular reservoir or liquid holder having throughout its longitudinal extent spaced parallel engaging flanges 8 the latter forming therebetween a dove-tailed groove 9 the same receiving a correspondingly shaped upper edge -10 of a comb 11 havingine teeth 12 and coarse teeth 13 between which latter and passing through the dove-tailed upper edge 1() are openings 14 which `latter register with openings 15 formed in the base ot the dovetailed groove 9 and communicate with the interiorof the reservoir or holder. The opposite ends of the said tubular reservoir or holder 7 are interiorly screw threaded as at 16 and in one threaded end is mounted a detachable male threaded plug 17 while the opposite end detachably receives a tubular or cylindrical shell 18 forming a receiver for dye substance to be introduced into the reservoir or holder. The said shell 1,8 is provided with a plurality of openings 19 adapted to be brought into register with the openings 15 by the turning of said shell and upon further turning of the latter the same forms a cut-ott or valve to close the said openings 15 thereby shutting oit the. liquid supply from the-reservoir or holder 7 to the comb. The said shell 18 has exterior screw threads 2O to engage the threaded end of the holder or reservoir and terminates in a thumb head 21 so that the shell can be worked inward or removed from the said reservoir or holder and also to actuate the same as a cut-oi`f valve.

What is claimed is 1. A comb of the class described comprising a liquid receiving reservoir having a detachable plug at one end thereof, a removable shell mounted in the opposite end of said reservoir said reservoir having a plurality of openings therein, and a detachable comb carried by said reservoir and containing openings in register with the openings in the reservoir.

2. A comb of the class described comprisedge on said comb, a reservoir having' spaced thereof.
